I have installed a different distribution, and now have 2.6.15 running, and it produces the same error. So, we know the bug was present in 2.6.15. Now that I have an older distribution, I should be able to try 2.6.5 and 2.6.9 shortly. Do you expect it will produce substantially different results from 2.6.15? > If that doesn't help then we can probably safely assume that it's > always been busted.

What can I do to get you more information, other than the above? -- -- bkuhn
